Computer guys - Browser question

I recently downloaded Mozilla Firefox to display crazedlist.org (great if you want to search craigslist more than one city at a time) because Internet Explorer would not display it correctly. It is now the default browser. I want to keep Mozilla but like IE for everything else. How do I make IE my default browser?

IIRC, the next time you start IE, it will ask about making it your default. There also might be a setting under "Tools" to do that.

Or, you could install the IE plugin for Mozilla...

In Firefox: Tools -> Options -> Main
Make sure "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup" is not checked.

IE should have something similar.

In IE:

tools > Internet options > programs

Look at the bottom of the tab for "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is a default browser.'

Thanks everyone. Firefox was not checked as default but IE needed to be reset. Good to go.
